Respectfully disagree on that, but I think that argument has been done to death. Probably easiest to say that if Man Utd are going to play a 60 game season with a World Cup in the middle then they’ll need sufficient numbers to cover absences, regardless of the cause of the absence.
We had that until Eriksen got injured.
 
If we can get this guy in and he's even remotely decent it's an utter no brainer.

DVB injured, Eriksen out. McTom a few problems, and down to Casmerio and Fred?

I dare say some are getting hoarse shouting for the likes of Iqbal, but we need a proper experienced player in there to at least give us the equivalent of what Weigy is doing up front.
The fact McTominay has made 24 apps this season alone makes this a logical signing that improves the squad.
 

Said his goodbyes to his teammates and is on his way to Manchester. But no agreement between the clubs yet.
 
One thing I'd say. If we sign him, it's a relief EtH won't have to rely on complete miracles till the end of the season
 
What the feck? Went to the gym today presuming we weren't in for anyone, get home and now this has exploded. I have just two questions:
1. Who the feck is this guy?
2. Why is everyone excited?
 
Is this a panic buy?

Don't know, maybe I guess.
It's a contingency buy, I'd argue that the long term injuries to Donny and Eriksen mean it's 100% necessary we get another body in, an injury to Fred or Casemiro and we are down to playing 17 year old Mainoo every game or chucking Luke Shaw in there or something
 
Sell McT for 30m and buy this guy for 10m. Go for one more big midfield signing
 
What's the consensus on cocks out in this situation? Too short notice? Not ideal during the winter? Reserved for permanent signings only? Go for it?
 
has to be really odd though for him to just pack up that quickly and jump on a move to another country to play football for only 3-4 months
 
I wouldn't be surprised if we buy him in the summer. That's magnificent business right there in the midst of Eriksen's injury.
 
Reporter: "Are you going to Manchester (United) or Chelsea?"

Sabitzer: "You'll have to wait and see"

Sabitzer boards a flight to Manchester.

Midfielder that played for Leipzeig and knocked us out of the CL a few years ago. Signed for Bayern when his contract ran down.

Everyone is excited because he's actually a quality player and will help soften the Eriksen blow.

Have a quick wank, you deserve it.

Imagine if we sold McT for 30-40m and got him for similar?
 
Sky suggesting United have tracked Sabitzer since the summer and this is more opportunistic rather than totally random.
 
Interested to know where people rank him in the below section.

Best player first.

Bellingham, Enzo, De Jong, Eriksen, Sabitzer, Fred

Anyone think he's better than Eriksen as a starter in CM with Casemiro?
 


Anyone provide a translation?


“i don’t know why they’re sending me. the window is closing. bayern want to be seen as cooperating to keep relations cordial but they know i cannot sign past the deadline. arnold keeps whatsapping me beer emojis and smiley faces. this is a waste of my time.”
 
Worth noting that he was Leipzig captain before joining Bayern. I like that.
